Goal protest (6)
I believe the answer is:
object
I believe this is a double definition.
'goal' is the first definition.
(I know that object is a type of goal)
'protest' is the second definition.
(as in objecting to something)
(Other definitions for object that I've seen before include "Express dissent to the thing?" , "Goal; material thing" , "Aim - to argue against - something" , "Thing; complain" , "Express dissent, protest" .)
